Charl McLeod born 5 August 1983 in Johannesburg
, South Africa
is a rugby union
player for the Sharks in the Super 14
and Currie Cup
competitions. He plays as a scrum-half.
On 18 November 2010, whilst the Springboks were already two matches in to their November tour of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England, Charl received the call to join the squad. After an extremely successful Currie Cup campaign where the Sharks were the deserved champions, many might feel this is a just reward.
